boy name to complement Beatrix

[backpackingfamily]

Our 2.5 yr old DD is called Beatrix. She was 3 weeks old when we finally thought of it and DH and I agreed on it immediately.

DS is now 16 days old and DH and I are really struggling on names for him.

It appears we like names that known but unusual, with more of elegant feel.

So far, the ones we agree on (but no Eureka moment) are:

• Toby
• Barnabus / Barny
• Benedict
• Pascal
• Lysander
• Xavier

DH thinks there are more names out there that we have yet to consider.

Anyone got any suggestions?

Benedick

sebastien?
rupert?
tobias?
frederick?

Monty / Montgomery
Dominic

Congratulations!

I think Beatrix and Toby sound lovely together!

I know a Beatrice who has a little brother Seth.

I like Benedict.

We were considering Barney when pg last time round, then I met a guy with that name who said that he had been taunted all his life because of his name and he hated it. That put me off.

I really love Lysander

Gideon
Edwin
Anton
Thaddeus
Lemuel
Tobias
Everett
Dashiell
Emmett

Beatrix and Xavier are a great combination :)

Theodore
Orlando
Jasper
Maximilian
Anthony
Lucius
Miles
Saul
Jeremiah/Jem
Rufus
Alfred
Clement
Gabriel
Harrison
Caspar
Matthias

First name that came to mind was Reuben.

I love Pascal, Monty and Rufus.

Harry

Leander. Romantic myth to go with it too (though doesn't end well!).

Beatrix and Elliott?

Can I just say that I love Pascal and Beatrix! Wonderful!

Beatrix and Xavier sound like superheroes!

Simeon
Hugo
Hector
Guy
Asher
Edgar
Alexander
Hugh
Emmett
Winston
Arthur

Toby
Barnabus / Barny
Benedict
Pascal
Lysander
Xavier

I like them all. Beatrix and Benedict are maybe a bit rhymey. I love Clement, Anthony and Thaddeus suggested above.

How about
Alastair
Dominic
Conrad
Nicholas

Alistair
Dominic

Louis
Rory
Sebastian
Luke
Leo
Barnaby

I like Toby

Beatrix and Benedict - a tad twee (Beatrice and Benedick are a couple in Much Ado About Nothing)

We were going to call ds1 Beatrix if he had been a dd.

I've always liked Grey for a boy or Estile if you want to go a bit frenchy.

What about Lucien too?

Beau

Montague (Monty) but then I'm biased as name of our gorgeous DS

Dante

Potter

Joel ?
Like Reuben too and Liam with Beatrix
Congratulations !
